About
Welcome and thank you for visiting my online portfolio.
Having trained initially as an illustrator, I worked for many years in magazine publishing as a designer and art director. I am now pursuing my passion for art full time. I recently completed the Royal Drawing School Drawing Development Programme which has had a profound effect on my practice in that I feel I have a more intuitive approach than before. I'm still a work in progress and am enjoying the process of learning and discovering new influences.
Over the past 10 years I have attended short courses and evening classes at various institutions including Blackheath Conservatoire (life drawing, oil painting and portraiture), The Princes School of Traditional Arts (traditional painting and drawing techniques), Royal Drawing School (various) and recently online with Greenwich Adult and Community Learning (printmaking by hand, abstract watercolour techniques). I have also attended lessons in a small group with artist Rachel Levitas (oil painting and water colour techniques).
My strength is in drawing and I have an interest in process and making by hand. I am drawn to using traditional methods and natural materials where possible. I like colour, light and experimentation! I have practised yoga for many years and that also finds its way into my work.
